Still the lousiest of the lousiest. After its IPO, GDDY became one of those companies that tweaks its numbers in such a way that it siphons off all the wealth created by its employees up into management salaries and executive compensation. You can spot companies that use this as their "strategy" by really high Debt:Equity ratios, and a few other metrics... a few interesting ones here:
